"Blue skies welcomed us into the San Juan Islands and we navigated our way through the inner islands towards whales! Our first stop was just outside Thatcher Pass for a few hauled-out Harbor Seals nestled near a few perched Pigeon Guillemots! Our journey toward the whales lead us through Cattle Pass and into the Strait of Juan de Fuca! We found the orcas of J & L pod in a lively reunion just north and west of False Bay!! The mixing of the two pods resulted in a multitude of behaviors. Our guests witnessed spyhopping, breaching, taillobing, cartwheeling, belly rolls and upside down taillobes!! We got great looks at Mega (L41), Mike (J26), Polaris & her mother Princess Angeline! After a great visit with these amazing cetaceans we enjoyed the company of the blue skies all the way back to the dock! Our guests also visited with Turkey Vultures, Bald Eagles, Rhinoceros Auklets, Glaucous-winged Gulls, Pelagic & Double-crested Cormorants!" - Naturalist Kate Janes
